- This is a very good talk from Atlanta titled "The Church has a Woman Problem??"
- It is very basic about the equality of honor and dignity, and the difference in roles

- Racism
- Secularism
- Abortion
- Listen to Stephanie Gray...
- Most Anti-Abortion arguments center around the fact that the Embryo is a living human being and terminating him/her is murder. Unfortunately, now many pro-abortion people are saying "yes the Embryo is a living person, but the right for bodily autonomy is more important" - how do we answer that? - Stephanie Gray addresses that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGPudL_GQ3Y
